Salt.

A New York commission merchant
said to a Commercial reporter: "The
experiment of max ng solar salt has been
tried in this country but without much
success. The quality Of the sea water
varies a good dead. 1t will deposit one
kind of salt on one island and another
perceptibly different, even to the eye,
on another island perhaps not more than
forty miles away. We do an immense
trade with the West Indies in salt. There
are dozen places that furnish altogether
different kinds Of salt, and each has its
particular use. One very fine and easily
soluble variety is used in tie havoring
Of chewing tobacco. Not many chew
crs know that, bat they would find out
very quickly that somathing was lack
ing if the salt should be omitted.
Some physicians have thought that the
presence of the salt makes tic tobacco
very injurious"

of aninteresting incident that occurred

that they could not be pulled off. Cole
man was an economical cuss, and hl
would not let us cut them off his feet.
He said the boots had cost him 81 but
two weeks before, and he could not af
ford to lose them SO soon, even If by SO
doing he would be relieved of his suf-
ferings. 1t was finally agreed to take
Coleman out to the locomotive, stick his
boot heels between the Stats OF the cow
